“Dear Colleagues,
On 1st March, 2024, I shared my vision for a #BuildingACourageousAndResilientBar that prioritises the needs of its members and the legal profession while standing firm against external pressures and where we will #LeaveNoLawyerBehind.
Today, I am happy to announce that I have picked up my nomination form from the Electoral Committee of the Nigerian Bar Association (ECNBA) and intend to contest for the position of President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) in the July 2024 elections.
This is not a decision I took lightly. I’m convinced that our association must live up to its potential in championing the rule of law, protecting civil liberties, and advancing the interests of its members. That’s what’s Bar Associations exist for.
With this step, our journey towards achieving this shared objective has now begun. I look forward to working with you all to strengthen our association, the NBA, and uplift the entire legal profession and, indeed, our country, Nigeria.
Join me on this journey as we forge ahead, united in our determination to create a Bar that truly serves the interests of its members and the nation as a whole”.
Tobenna currently serves as the Chairman of the Board of NBA Institute of Continuing Legal Education where, he, with the support of his team, has been building capacity within the profession and finding ways of ensuring that lawyers benefit from their membership of the NBA and remain abreast of trends and developments that are imperative to the discharge of their professional duties.
